[@daisypeters3216]

Such we miss you, Greatest Master of The FOLK SINGERS. Our Beloved Luke Kelly!!! You're kept us. Never forgot!.!

[@TheNightVisitingSong]

Yes, it really is a Canadian folk song. It was first collected in the 1950s and 1960s, mainly in Nova Scotia. Many of the first recordings were by Canadian folk singers and it quickly became popular in many English-speaking countries. Luke Kelly was actually the first one to bring it to Ireland, this time from Scotland. Again, the seemingly innate Irish qualities of the song all come from The Dubliners recording with Luke's artistry making it sound like an Irish classic. Thanks for listening.

[@thinkingcapfirmlyon9240]

Oh, Peggy Gordon, you are my darling Come sit you down upon my knee Come tell to me the very reason Why I am slighted so by thee I'm so in love, I can't deny it My heart lies smothered in my breast It's not for you to let the world know it A troubled mind can know no rest I did put my head to a cask of brandy It was my fancy I do declare For when I'm drinking I am thinking And wishing Peggy Gordon was here I wish I was away in Ingo Far across the briny sea Sailing o'er the deepest ocean Where love nor care ever bother me I wish I was in some lonesome valley Where womankind cannot be found Where the pretty small birds Do change their voices And ev'ry moment a diff'rent sound Oh, Peggy Gordon, you are my darling Come sit you down upon my knee Come tell to me the very reason Why I am slighted so by thee

REALLY - CANADIAN? THAT'S REALLY INTERESTING - I DIDN'T KNOW THAT - YET THE LYRICS SOUND VERY IRISH - BUT HOW AND EVER - IF IT'S FROM CANADA SO MAY IT BE SO - YET THE SAIL OER THE SEA PART WOULD SUGGEST OTHERWISE - LONESOME VALLEY (LOTS OF THEM IN CANADA SO WHY WOULD THE AUTHOR WISH IT) STILL A BEAUTIFUL SONG MADE IMMORTAL BY LUKE KELLY

[@77boaby]

[@mikekeyes6102]

Not so. It's from Canada. Could be Scottish or Irish - or neither...
